The silvery Bonaventure hotel towers used as "Atlantium" appeared in a lot of other movies and shows, both interior and exterior scenes. Which ones can you remember? (looking up the answers is cheating!)

I'm not sure about that location, but I do know they filmed at least one episode at the now-defunct Busch Gardens in Pasadena. I remember getting excited as I located the one very recognizable facade and my parents thinking I was crazy.

The Bonaventure Hotel is now owned by Westin and has been in many movies. I think it is still the largest hotel in Los Angeles. I personally rememember these.
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
The Fantastic Journey
This is Spinal Tap
In the Line of Fire
Nick of Time
True Lies
Midnight Madness
Showtime
Hard to Kill
Chuck,
Escape from LA
Epicenter
Knight Rider
BJ and The Bear
It's A Living (set in the restaurant on top of the hotel)
C.S.I.
Mission Impossible III (exteriors only)
Hancock (exteriors only)
It also is seen in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas when playing in Los Santos.
I remember alot of shows that used it as a fixture because it is one of my favorite landmarks in Los Angeles, next to Griffih Park Observatory and the Capitol Records Building. -

I forgot one. Strange Days had the New Year's eve party at the Bonaventure and it was mentioned by at least one character once. They showed mostly interior shots with a few exterior shots. Since it was night it was kinda difficult to tell it really was the Bonaventure.
